Taxes are not exactly fixed, earn more, pay a higher percentage. Also, I only get to buy stuff with my after tax money, so my decision process on wether to buy something uses my after tax hourly rate. This makes many things seem more unneccessary, like speeding! By hypermiling I do only save $3 a day and that works out to like 10min of work but its also better for me and the environment and I get to brag to my Honda snob friends that my old carppy neon is spanking them in fuel economy
